Abstract
THE recent joint announcement by the Calico Printers' Association and Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., of the discovery of a new fibre-forming polymer permits the publication of the following short account of an X-ray investigation carried out on this material in the summer of 1944. The fibres, now known to be terylene, were prepared by Dr. D. V. N. Hardy at the Chemical Research Laboratory, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Teddington, and they had been submitted for other examination.
